Question

【题目】The world’s forests become smaller and smaller. People are still cutting down the trees. Why is this happening? There are two reasons—land and wood. People need land for animals and crops. And people want wood. Japan, Europe and North American need wood. There, it is used for buildings or it is made into furniture.

But most places from the forests are not good for animals or crops. The soil (土壤) in the forests is very thin. When trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or the wind. Soon there is nothing but sand. Then more land will be needed and more trees will be cut down.

【解析】本文主要讲述世界上森林变得越来越小的原因----主要是人们的砍伐。人们的砍伐森林主要为了获取土地和木材。人们需要土地饲养动物和种植庄稼。人们需要木材用于建筑物，制成家具。但是大多数森林的地方不适于动物和庄稼生长。森林的土壤很贫瘠。当树木被砍伐时，雨水或风会把土壤冲走或刮走。很快除了沙子什么也没有。然后需要更多的土地，砍伐更多的树木。
